Chapter 22 Underground Water Channel Opening Strategy-3

"My life is worthy of my heart. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I leave my limited life to important things. Maniwan had money, and he funded my book. As for the rest, let it go. With that, Aurelius slowly moved back to his own home.

He Xi was in awe. I didn't expect that a mere online game and a sub-NPC character could say such a thing in such a "happy father" setting.

Perhaps, he should continue to dig in Aurelius?

"Isn't there a lot of evil to break the evil spirits, right?" Fustina interrupted He Xi's thoughts, she ran out of Maniwang's room angrily and came to He Xi, "Take me to Maniwang's private house in the northwest neighborhood, hurry up!" ”

Bite~! System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Maniwon's Lover] commissioned by Fustina?

Accept!

"Dustina, oh, my Dustina, she's a poor child, you don't want that... The impact is not good... The neighbors are watching..."Maniwan followed, pleading with Fustina in a pleading tone.

"Hehe, she's pathetic?" Fustina sneered, "Is she pitiful or am I pitiful?" Break the evil with little skill, lead the way! ”

He Xi silently led Fustina to the northwest block, while Maniwang carefully kept a distance and followed. He Xi felt a chill when he thought that he was now leading someone to catch the traitor, and he couldn't help but feel a chill, and he originally wanted to be a copy of the underground sewer.

But the next scene made He Xi quickly come back to his senses and become nervous.

When she came to the house where Licia lived, Fustina banged on the door hard, but when there was no answer, she dragged Maniwang over, and he scrambled to open the door with the key. There was no one on the first floor, and Fustina strode up to the second floor, He Xi followed, she knocked on the door, but no one answered. This time Restina didn't pay attention to any effect, she went up and kicked it, and the wooden door could be kicked open at any moment.

Lycia's room was dark, the windows were sealed with cloth by Lycia, and she didn't seem to want the light to let in the room. The room was filled with mold colonies, which made He Xi feel that even breathing was a problem, and he looked around and found that there were many alchemy test equipment similar to crucibles and test tubes in the messy room, but there was no trace of Lycia.

"Oh my god... How so? Haven't you come to get rid of mold? Maniwang, who had just come in, asked He Xi incredulously.

"Miss Licia didn't let me into her room, I only cleaned the first floor."

This shouldn't be a lie, if I come in and clean up, you'll only be more desperate, He Xi thought.

"Ahem, where is that guy?" Fustina coughed and came out of the room and asked Maniwang.

"I don't know... I haven't been here for almost a week..."

"Mr. Maniwang, what are these test equipment used for?" He Xi asked.

"I... I do not know... I don't have any of these things at home, I must have bought them myself," Maniwang replied blankly.

He Xi frowned, and found that things were not simple. Licia tried her best to invite him upstairs before, but He Xi didn't agree, if He Xi went upstairs with her, then what she saw must be the same scene. It is obviously impossible to drink tea and chat with each other in this environment. Licia must have something to do with He Xi, and it is not a good thing, He Xi must find her in order to solve the mystery.

"Mr. Maniwang, is there any other place where Miss Licia can hide?"

"Lycia... She seems to have friends who live outside the West Gate, not far from the city, near the homeless village, and she often goes there to meet with friends these months..."

"A few months?! You've been in this relationship for a long time?! ”

"My Fustina, you calm down first..."

"How do you want me to calm down!!"

He Xi ignored the quarrel between the two NPCs and left the house alone. The homeless village outside the West Gate, this is a new clue obtained by He Xi, and it is the key to finding Licia. What's more, the location referred to by the clue is incomparably close to the underground waterway, if He Xi's judgment is correct, then the next step must be the core task of opening the underground waterway dungeon!

Outside the West Gate, the homeless village, the gloomy place of Prontera. Everyone wants to come to Prontera, but not everyone can stay in Prontera. More people can't stand in the city, so they can only choose to live in tents outside the city, and go to the city every day to pick up some brick transportation and even fight and make trouble to make a living. People here can only look at the bustling lights of the city night and night, longing for an ethereal vision in their hearts, and busy trying to fill their bellies.

There's a lot to do here, and it's worth digging into. However, when He Xi inquired in the forum before, he didn't see any players triggering particularly valuable hidden tasks, so he strategically abandoned them. After He Xi enters the homeless village, he asks the NPCs about Lycia's whereabouts, and is told that no one knows her.

This is strange, according to Maniwang's intelligence, Lycia has been coming and going frequently in the homeless village in recent months, and the homeless people should always see one or two of her... Could it be that Licia deceived Maniwang? If it's in reality, it's very likely, but this is a game, and if the clues provided are completely wrong and there is no corresponding point, then you can't play at all, which is unreasonable.

Just when He Xi was at a loss, a woman's cry for help came from the earphones, and the listening argument should be in the most corner of the homeless village, He Xi did not hesitate and hurried over. When he arrived, he didn't see anyone, there were two obvious marks on the ground, He Xi recognized, they were the traces of people dragging away when their hands were struggling desperately on the ground. Following the traces, He Xi came to the door of a dilapidated wooden house, and he knocked on the door.

A homeless woman opens the door, a kitchen knife in her hand. This was not terrifying, but He Xi was frightened by another detail.

Nearly two-thirds of her face, covered in mold. From He Xi's point of view, it was as if there was a wriggling dark gray mist attached to her face, and she looked calm, as if there was nothing on her face. This strong sense of contrast made He Xi can't help but take a few steps back and get goosebumps.

"Hmm... Hello... Want to come in? She opened her mouth and said to He Xi, her mouth was completely clogged with mold, and He Xi could only see the spores spitting out between opening and closing.

He Xi's intuition told him that he couldn't enter. Unable to turn down the opportunity to get clues to the quest with the curiosity that could accompany his fear, he took a deep breath and walked into the cabin.

The cabin was very dark and there was no light, but He Xi could still strongly feel that he had entered an extremely dense colony environment, and he even doubted that he could hear the sound of the colony spitting out spores. There were people in the house, there were many people, He Xi couldn't see their appearance clearly, they were standing or sitting, all motionless, only on their faces or bodies, signs of squirming could be found. Apparently, they were all infected with mold.

"Come... Tired... Sit down and rest will... All right? The woman who opened the door said in a smooth voice behind He Xi.

He Xi turned around, and the homeless woman had already raised the kitchen knife, and his heart was tight, and he wanted to attack her first.

System Prompt: The target is an allied unit and cannot be attacked.

WHAT?!

And the moment He Xi turned around, those who were infected by the mold quickly moved over and attacked He Xi.

“-30! -35! -28! -43! ……”

System Prompt: The target is an allied unit and cannot be attacked.

Bite~! System Prompt: You have died, deducting 7000 XP (50% of the current BASELV).

WHAT???!!!

After resurrecting from the storage point, He Xi still didn't understand what was happening.

Attacked, normal; It's not normal to be attacked but can't fight back; Being beaten to death by NPCs when you can't fight back, and deducting experience according to the death penalty, this is simply incredible!

He Xi clicked on the task panel, and his current task was still the task [Maniwang's Lover] entrusted by Fustina, and the task requirement was still to find Lycia. There are no new tasks, no new prompts, He Xi is stunned.

He Xi was unwilling, he went to the homeless village again, came to the corner, and unexpectedly heard the woman's cry for help again. This time he pursed his lips and chose to go back to the city. The person who knows the times is Junjie, and since he is sure that it is a stable trigger task, then he will not send him to death in vain.

It was four o'clock in the morning, and looking at the dark night scene outside the window, He Xi sighed. He got up and made himself a cup of coffee, stretched his sedentary torso, and clicked on the forum for help.

There was a lot of discussion in the forum about the mission of the Blontrashi Gate Exile Village, but no one mentioned that there was a sudden report of a woman calling for help in the Exile Village, and no one had received any assignment in that corner. That is to say, the event that He Xi encountered must be hidden trigger, and it is the kind that has a death punishment!

He Xi's evil breaking skill is now level 14, 50% of the experience is 7000, if he dies again, he will be directly reduced to level 13, such a price is a bit more than worth the loss, He Xi doesn't want to take such a huge risk.

He Xi was thinking. In this mission, the "mold wanderer" is infected by mold and has a strong aggression, and the system prompts that it is a friendly target and cannot attack, so it can be inferred that if there are no other additional factors, then the player group can only be passively beaten when facing this group of homeless people, and cannot fight back.

Assuming that the mission is a precursor to the underground waterway copy, then the cause and effect of the mission must be closely related to the underground waterway, and the side of the task chain on the shore of Lake Grylls shows that the nearby environment is polluted by unknown factors, and the mold infection encountered by He Xi may be the key to solving all this mystery.

In Wonderland, the way to enter the sewers is to first go to the Knights of Prontera, find the NPC in charge in the service area after entering the door, and then swear that you are willing to join the Sewer Raid Party, you can get permission to enter the sewers, and then you can teleport directly through the entrance facility outside the Prontera West Gate and talk to the Sewer Keeper.
